Abstract
An analysis of software stored and executing on one or more assets in an enterprise includes determining a hierarchy of nodes in the software and among the assets and analyzing dependencies among those nodes and assets through a static analysis of the software as it is stored as well as through a dynamic analysis of the software as it executes.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for analyzing software dependencies, comprising:
- on a first asset, executing a first technology agent configured to:
- analyze a first type of software stored in memory of the first asset, the analysis comprising:
- identifying nodes within a particular portion of software of the first type,
- for each node, assigning an ID based on a hash of content related to the node,
- recording a hierarchy of the nodes within the software using the node IDs,
- performing a static analysis of the particular portion of software of the first type to identify any dependencies between that particular portion of software and other portions of software, and
- communicating the hierarchy and the dependencies to a synthesis agent;
- and
- on the first asset, executing a second technology agent configured to:
- analyze a second type of software stored in memory of the first asset, the analysis comprising:
- identifying nodes within a particular portion of software of the second type,
- for each node, assigning an ID based on a hash of content related to the node,
- recording a hierarchy of the nodes within the software using the node IDs,
- performing a static analysis of the particular portion of software of the second type to identify any dependencies between that particular portion of software and other portions of software, and
- communicating the hierarchy and the dependencies to the synthesis agent.
